Prefixes 1



Look for 3 new words that have a prefix in your new list (after-, fore-, pre-, post-, re-).

Do THREE things with each word - 

1.  Type the new word correctly spelled in CAPITAL LETTERS.
2.  Type the new word AGAIN, splitting it into syllables with a back slash (/).
3.  Use the new word in a complete sentence underlining the word.

Example:

UNSELFISHLY
un / self / ish / ly
Madi clearly acted unselfishly when she gave her last dollar to the Salvation Army.
